Unreciprocated Love

There was a time when all I had was hope.

Hope that one day, I wouldn't be alone.

Did you know how much pain I was in, or did you just not care?

Maybe it was my fault.

Maybe I'm being unfair.

You didn't know the cost would be my faith.

Honestly, you thought you were doing the right thing.

Did you not know how much I loved you, how much I needed you in my life?

I guess I'm just pathetic, and I deserved getting pierced by your knife.

You were my everything, the one I held onto.

You must not have realized how much I needed you.

I trusted that you'd be there to catch me when I fell, because you were the one by my side, the day my dad made me cry. 

He left without a word, disappearing out of sight.

If you hadn't been there, I wouldn't have survived that night.

I know it hurt you too, leaving me behind.

So why did you do it?

I guess you were blind, to the fact that without you I was a mess.

And what you didn't know, is that I became the thing you feared most.

I never told you what happened, but now I confess, that you were the very reason I left.
